Rockstar, an energetic retriever puppy, finds himself longing for a forever home after being surrendered not once, but twice. This resilient pup’s journey has garnered attention as pet rescue advocate Rocky Kanaka shines a spotlight on his plight, highlighting the urgent need for compassion and a loving family to give Rockstar the home he deserves.
In the emotionally charged video, Rocky Kanaka expresses his concern for dogs like Rockstar who endure the heartbreak of multiple returns. “It makes me tear up when I see dogs that just continue to get returned because, as you can imagine, it’s just heartbreaking for them,” he shares with a heavy heart.

Determined to make a difference, Kanaka collaborates with the Rancho Coastal Humane Society, a remarkable organization committed to helping dogs and cats in need. Their shared mission to provide support and love to animals drives Kanaka to visit the shelter and witness firsthand the incredible work being done there.
Inspired by the Rancho Coastal Humane Society’s dedication, Kanaka devises a plan to contribute further to the shelter’s cause. Determined to make a lasting impact, he meets with Ashley, the animal director, to discuss working with Rockstar. The goal is to train and prepare him for potential adoption.
Kanaka’s enthusiasm is evident as he bonds with Rockstar, playfully changing his name from Rocky to Rockstar to avoid confusion with another dog at the shelter. Walking the lively pup allows Kanaka to establish a connection and assess Rockstar’s needs. “What I’m trying to do with him right now is walk him just to build that relationship,” he explains.
Recognizing the importance of professional training, Kanaka seeks the assistance of Libby, a trainer at Rancho Coastal. The hope is that dedicated training sessions will yield significant progress for Rockstar. Kanaka’s determination to secure Rockstar’s adoption prompts him to propose a trip to the beach as a reward for good behavior. “If he does really good and makes progress, can I take him to the beach to wear him down a little bit?” Kanaka asks, eager to provide an unforgettable experience for the energetic pup.
Working diligently with Rockstar, Kanaka incorporates mental stimulation through interactive toys, encouraging the pup to engage his senses and problem-solving skills. The collaboration between Kanaka and Libby demonstrates the dedication of the team to prepare Rockstar for his future home.

It is a heartwarming moment that leaves Kanaka brimming with emotions. “It gives me chills, it warms my heart to see him so happy and just running and jumping and having the time of his life,” he shares with genuine delight.
While Rockstar’s journey is a cause for celebration, the overarching mission remains finding him a forever home.
